Marqués de Terán Reserva 2009: Silver Bacchus 2015, Catavinum 2015 Silver Medal. The Marqués de Terán Collection Producing fruit-forward Rioja wines with avant-garde techniques. Use of geothermal energy means lowest CO2 emissions in the world. Avant-garde winery with a unique architectural concept and focus on quality. 80% of the winery is below ground making it one of the most advanced in the world. First winery in the world to apply geothermal energy for keeping constant temperature during wine-making. Use of cryo-maceration to extract optimum fruit (the application of dry ice to create cold conditions for maceration). Cryo-maceration results in highest levels of Resveratrol and Quercetin (10 times as much), which have many health benefits including heart health, fight cancer, protect skin health and lower inflammation. Cryomaceration creates stability of taste and high antioxidation stability leading to reduced use or complete absence of SO2 in the finished wine. Optimum flavour is achieved through the terroir, hand harvesting of select grapes and cryo-maceration, which extracts the greatest level of aromas and fruit from the grape. It extracts more colour, tannin, body and natural sugars (higher alcohol), resulting in a softer, fuller mouthfeel. These wines are more fruit forward and ripe with pronounced colour and aroma intensity, well-balanced, smooth and round in the mouth. Wines from Marques de Teran are the choice of more than 1000 restaurants including many Michelin such as Zalacain, Arzak, La Venta de Moncalvillo. Awarded winery of the year 2010 by La Buena Mesa, the Spanish Association of Restaurants.

Located in land of poor fertility, these vineyards produce the Tinta de Toro variety between 80 to 100 years old at very low yields, cultivated in the area s tradition of following natural processes and pace set by nature with minimum interference. The soils here are composed of sandstone, clay and Pliocene limestone and all the vineyards are located between 650 and 735 metres in the undulating land typical in this area. With its continental climate, Atlantic influence, plentiful sunshine and high diurnal range, Toro is an area with very favourable conditions for optimum maturation of the grape. In addition, the annual rainfall is very low, so risk of disease minimal and hence highquality grapes that are perfectly healthy are obtained. Tinta de Toro is a variety of Tempranillo which produces wine with enormous personality, great colour and an exquisite bouquet. It is an aromatic grape with a distinctive ruby colour and a very low oxidative level, which allows the wines to be aged for a long time. DO Toro wines have always been noted for being very dense and full-bodied wines that you can almost chew. Nonetheless, through our quality-focused winemaking techniques, we produce wines that are smooth and elegant without losing its strength, thus we continue to adapt to the tastes of the new consumers.

Delgado Zuleta TIMELESS WINES DRY SHERRIES La Goya Manzanilla Grape Varieties: 100% Palomino Fino Alcohol: 15% Tasting Notes: The Flagship Manzanilla from Delgado Zuleta, this sherry is impeccable, versatile and always appealing. Pale golden yellow in color. The nose is fine and pronounced, presenting nuances typical of the biological aging. Roasted almonds, citrus peel and chamomile aromas are among the many highlights of this wine. It is light and bone-dry on the palate with an outstanding finish. La Goya XL Grape Varieties: 100% Palomino Fino Alcohol: 15% Tasting Notes: This unique and formidable Manzanilla is aged in and extracted from the exclusive Solera reserved for the La Goya range and bottled en rama directly from the cask in limited quantities. Intense gold in colour, this sherry presents a balance of sharp aromas of toasted cereal, citrus peel and white flowers. On the palate it is dry and fresh, with lingering flavors of sea minerality, green olive, toasted nuts and yeasty notes of the flor, complex and persistent with a textured palate. Quo Vadis Grape Varieties: 100% Palomino Fino Alcohol: 20% Tasting Notes: This is a VORS sherry that sees both biological and oxidative ageing, with more than 40 years in oak butts. Surprisingly light amber colour for such an old wine, its true age is suggested by the green hue at the rim. The nose is aromatic and elegant, perfumed with dough, walnuts, candied apricots, clove, chocolate, toffee and honeycomb. The palate reveals a fresh wine, light- to medium-bodied and complex with layered flavours that encompass mineral, floral, spice, vanilla, dried fruit and nuts, all perfectly balanced and deeply concentrated with exceptional length. An outstanding Amontillado from Sanlucar.
